“Slate” Can Be Sexual Too
filed under: We Are The Sex Media by Melissa Gira
Sex and more sex: Slate does a special sex issue, which I’m taking with my tea. Start with their Sex Ed 2.0 video, proof positive that sex video online would come to a grinding halt without the Prelinger Archive to sample “hygiene” films from.
What’s completely endearing is the prospect of, like the snip of sex ed d.i.y. video towards the end produced by two young guys for their health class, YouTube (not just YouPorn, as suggested) could be a new site of teens-teaching-teens sex online. So refreshing, compared to the adult ambivalence about whether or not having actual sex is an okay possible outcome of teen sex ed. Love the advice “If you can’t beat the Web, join it!,” but the end note here, that being sexual is a loss of innocence to be avoided, is just slightly less outdated than the 70’s classroom flicks it’s cut next to.
